The Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) and the Niger Delta Partnership Initiative Foundation (NDPI), along with fact-finding partner Frontier Design announce a novel study published by Georgetown University’s Business for Impact which comprises analysis and research outcomes from ten years of investment in Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region by Chevron and USAID to expand capacity and value in the following significant areas:
• Training for farmers to pursue agriculture as a business
• Strengthening the systems to bring these products to market in Niger Delta and beyond
• Improving food security and economic growth in communities all over the region
• Contributing to sustainability through short term grants
In a virtual learning occasion scheduled to hold on Friday, July 30, 2021, the authors will be sharing important findings centered on a wide-range of projects across diverse sectors that resulted in better economic development, job creation, and stability in the region, as well as insights, and lessons learned that could help inform future public-private partnerships, within Nigeria and in other evolving regions.
Planned to be open to the public, the event calls for participation of all regional stakeholders in the Niger Delta, and requests key actors in private sectors to connect.
